450: Chapter 450: Set Up One’s Own Establishment!
“Humble official Fang Tiecheng…
greets Your Excellency, Chancellor Chen!!” Fang Tiecheng knelt on the cruise ship deck, his voice trembling and terrified!
As the leader of the Qianjiang Military Zone Group, how could he not recognize Chancellor Chen, Chen Bu’e?!
This was the Minister of Military Affairs of the Imperial Capital!
A truly supreme existence!
“Fang Tiecheng, as the leader of the Qianjiang Military Zone, you are not allowed to leave the country without special orders.
Don’t you know this rule?” Chen Bu’e asked indifferently.
Fang Tiecheng knelt down on the ground, shuddering, his excuse muffled, “Chancellor…
subordinates, subordinates were just going abroad to attend a military exchange meeting…”
“What exchange meeting?
Show me the documents,” Chen Bu’e said flatly.
Fang Tiecheng: “…”
What documents could he have?
There was no exchange meeting.
He knelt on the ground, suddenly kowtowing, “Chancellor…
subordinates were wrong…
subordinates…
subordinates just wanted to visit their children abroad…
My son is studying overseas and has not returned home.
I am just anxiously longing to see him, so I used my privileges…
Subordinates know they were wrong, please forgive me this once!”
People of Fang Tiecheng’s high standing usually didn’t keep their children in the country.
They sent them abroad for schooling and leveraged their children’s foreign status to transfer their embezzled wealth abroad…
to avoid risk.
Upon hearing this, Chen Bu’e sneered coldly, “Visiting your children?
I think you were preparing to flee, weren’t you?
Over the years in Qianjiang…
you and Zhou Liwei have been in collusion, you’ve reaped plenty of benefits, haven’t you?”
Swish!
Upon hearing these words, the last bit of Fang Tiecheng’s false hopes shattered, and he trembled on the ground.
“Chancellor…
subordinates…
subordinates were wrong!
I beg you, please give me one more chance!
I am willing to transfer all assets under my name…
all of them to you!
Chancellor, give me one chance!” Fang Tiecheng crawled to Chen Bu’e’s feet, begging for mercy!
To save his life, he was prepared to give away all his embezzled wealth.
He sought to survive by severing an arm.
“Embezzlement is already a serious crime!
And now you dare to bribe a superior?
Your crimes are compounded!” Chen Bu’e said, furious, and with a kick sent Fang Tiecheng flying!
“Boom!” Fang Tiecheng’s body flew dozens of meters away, crashing hard into the cabin deck, “Pfft!” The General Fang spat out a mouthful of blood.
Chen Bu’e’s kick was so powerful, it injured Fang Tiecheng’s internal organs.
“Take him away.” Chen Bu’e ordered coldly.
The numerous guards around him charged forward in unison.
Fang Tiecheng turned deathly pale, having not expected Chen Bu’e to not be swayed by bribery at all.
In his panic, Fang Tiecheng clenched his teeth and suddenly leaped violently over the railing of the cruise ship!
“Splash!” Fang Tiecheng plunged into the sea…
disappearing into the pitch-black ocean.
The guards behind tried to jump into the sea to pursue, but Chen Bu’e stopped them.
“Forget it, no need to chase.
He doesn’t dare to swim out of territorial waters.
He can only swim back.
Leave him…
let Lin Shuang, that madman, deal with him,” Chen Bu’e said, lighting a cigar and speaking slowly.
Outside of territorial waters, the sea area spanned tens of thousands of kilometers.
For Fang Tiecheng to swim out would be sentencing himself to death; he’d drown before reaching the shore out of sheer exhaustion.
So, he could only swim back, heading towards Qianjiang City…
“Chancellor, but Lin Shuang acts without any rules…” Shen Huang cautiously reminded at the side.
Chen Bu’e exhaled a ring of smoke, “We’re borrowing his knife to kill.
It’s cleaner this way, saving me the trouble of taking the blame.
Besides, Qianjiang City has already enraged him.
He won’t be satisfied until he’s killed a few people.
Let him do the killing.”
Hearing this, Shen Huang could only nod in agreement.
…
Night, Qianjiang City.
Not long after Fang Tiecheng fled,
Lin Shuang drove into the military base in Qianjiang City.
This time, the mobilization of the forces of the Qianjiang City Military Zone Group to encircle and suppress Lin Shuang could not have happened without the backing of the top military leader.
Without orders from the top leader, the Military Zone Group wouldn’t dare to rashly make a move on Lin Shuang.
So, Lin Shuang took advantage of the night to seek revenge.
The second-in-command of the military zone was already dead.
It was time to eliminate the top leader.
To remove the weeds and eradicate the roots, to prevent future troubles.
Lin Shuang, alone, killed his way into the headquarters of the Military Zone Group.
He moved like a specter through their ranks, laying waste as he went.
It was late at night, and with Lin Shuang alone and extremely nimble, the numerous soldiers and horses within the group were powerless to stop him.
Lin Shuang’s figure constantly weaved and dodged within the Military Zone Group, employing guerrilla tactics to strike down his foes.
He stormed directly into the office compound of the top military leader.
He had planned to kill the top leader, Fang Tiecheng, on the spot.
However, after breaking in, Lin Shuang discovered that Fang Tiecheng had already fled.
After interrogating a few soldiers, Lin Shuang learned that Fang Tiecheng had escaped from the city hours earlier.
Lin Shuang reluctantly realized he was a step late.
He could only withdraw, but not before he thoroughly sabotaged the Military Zone Group’s military equipment…
…
Foured in the morning.
After swimming in the sea for three whole hours, Fang Tiecheng, exhausted, finally managed to swim back to the shores of Qianjiang City.
For three hours, Fang Tiecheng struggled with all his might, barely escaping drowning in the sea.
Back in Qianjiang City, Fang Tiecheng made an important decision; he went straight back to the headquarters of the Qianjiang Military Zone Group.
Fang Tiecheng knew he was at a dead end, with Yanxia’s laws offering him no shelter.
That’s why he decided to rebel!
He had so many soldiers under him in the Military Zone Group; he could certainly defect and establish his power!
